Blog Post for Living Paintings

I was kindly asked to write a blog post for Living Paintingsrecently, a charity that produces touch-to-see books for visually impaired and blind people, explaining how I developed an interest in creating artwork and how I manage to do so as a severely visually impaired person.

I go into detail about what inspires my illustrations, how I organise my mediums, how I plan a piece before getting started, and also provide a few helpful tips on how to identify shades before using them and how to colour inside an image without going over the edges!

A big thank you to Living Paintings for asking me to contribute to their fantastic blog!

This is the place where I'll be posting about my sight loss journey; from training with my Guide Dog, Tami, to my illustrations as a blind artist, accessible visits to museums and art galleries and campaigning work with various sight-loss charities. I hope my posts provide an enjoyable and insightful read!
